Plot

Seven segments related to one another only in that they all purport to be based on sections of the book by David Reuben. The segments range from "Do Aphrodisiacs Work?" in which a court jester gives an aphrodisiac to the Queen and is, in the end, beheaded to "What Happens During Ejaculation?" in which we watch 'control central' during a successful seduction.

Comments

Early Allen Typical for Allen's earlier films, this is a collection of some burlesque episodes on former sexual taboos. Some of them are really great, some rather poor but on the whole they all have some good gags. I particularly liked the episode with Gene Wilder and the sheep and the last one, where Woody Allen himself (who appears in four episodes in different roles) plays a neurotic sperm. Watch it, but only once!
